-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm pleased to announce the availability of a new GNU Ghostscript
release: gnu-ghostscript-8.71.0.

This release is an adaptation of GPL Ghostscript version 8.71, with
changes to make it compliant with GNU standards and policies.  It is
available from the GNU Ghostscript project page:
http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript/

This release include many bugs fixed over GNU Ghostscript 8.64.0 :

* this is the first complete GPL V3 version of ghostscript !
* numerous bug fixed
* a lot of security updates
* all changes from GPL Ghostscript 8.70 and 8.71 are included

Incompatible changes:

* A new configure option is available: --enable-safer-default
  This option allow to have gs SAFER mode enabled by default. If
  you need to have a less restrictive gs with this option, you need to
  add "-dNOSAFER" to the gs command line. This mode isn't the default
  for now but after testing with the option enabled, the next releases
  will see this option ON by default.

Please read the NEWS file for more details.

Happy printing !

Didier Link
